Owned and cared for by Reading Borough Council. The Friends assist the council  to achieve its objectives for Caversham Court as a historic garden and to raise awareness of its history and importance.

The popular charity run Tea Kiosk is now closed for the winter.

HALLOWEEN TRAIL

Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 October

Our 5th Halloween Trail with over 20 displays  scared, amused, wowed and educated our young visitors and raised over £600  for The Friends which will be used to support the gardens in 2026.  Thanks to Hester Casey and friends for creating the displays from recycled materials.  Some images are shown in our Events section.

A car left the road early on Thursday 23 October and demolished the large oak entrance gates to the garden.  Reading Borough Council have secured the entrance but there is no access via the archway.  Alternatives, are the old side entrance or via St Peters churchyard.    We await the report from a structural engineer.

OUR POPULAR GARDENS
